Problem description

A form is finalized (appears in "Ready to send”- isn’t sent automatically) if in the form settings there is "default” in auto send options.
(The issue doesn’t occur in the store version 2024.1.3)

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. In the project there is "wifi or cellular” auto send setting and there is a sim card and wifi on.
2. Open the form and send it.
   AutoSendDefault.xlsx.txt
3. Check the "Ready to send” list.

Expected behavior

I couldn’t find information in the documentation about using "default” in auto send setting in a form but in the past the setting sent the form.

The same issue occurs in a form in which auto send is set to "1".
my-form(3).xlsx.txt

@dbemke it makes sense that we'd send the form in this scenario (we shouldn't treat "default" as "false"), but what happens in older versions when I disable auto send at a settings level with that form? Does it send because it treats "default" (or the "1" in the other example) as "true"?

[dbemke]

In the store version in form settings auto send:

• default - send button at the end page of a form, form is sent automatically
• false - finalize button at the end page, the form is finalized
• true- send button at the end page of a form, form is sent automatically

Currently default - send button at the end page, the form isn't sent automatically
So in the past default acted like true but how it the code works I don't know.

What about if auto send is disabled in Collect? In those cases "default" is behaving like there's no auto-send attribute. "true" only matters if the auto send setting is disabled.

If in Collect settings there is auto send set to "off" then with default in form settings the form is finalized (in the store version)

Cool! So with auto-send it does actually behave as the specs say, but with one exception/caveat: unsupported values (like "default" or "muffin") will be treated as if there was no auto-send attribute.
